Your Town Councillors by Ward

Local Councillors are elected by the community to decide
how the council should carry out its various activities. They represent
public interest as well as individuals living within the ward in which
he or she has been elected to serve a term of office.

They have regular contact with the general public through council
meetings, telephone calls or surgeries. Surgeries provide an opportunity
for any ward resident to go and talk their councillor face to face and
these take place on a regular basis.

Parish councillors are volunteers and are not paid a salary for their work. Some parish councils pay an allowance, but Leighton-Linslade Town Councillors do not receive any allowance other than the very occasional reimbursement of expenses such as mileage. By law, all members of the Council are required to complete
a declaration of interest form, the details of which are published annually.
